Life of a Random

Yikes, I almost completely forgot about this but it's still early(ish) in March so that's good. Here is the update on my February goals: 1. Update my social media icons.  Done! 2. Revamp ALL of my blog pages.  I'm gonna cross it out because I did most  of them. Hey, that counts. 3. Change the font on the links under my header.  Done! 4. Make a list of books I've reviewed, complete with links. Nope, I didn't even touch this. Oops. All in all though I'd say I did pretty well. ;) And now  I get to move on to a new topic! The March topic is Social Media and Review Outlets . Read all about the topic in depth here . You can also read my January and February posts if you want. Basically this month is all about those social media websites that you haven't been keeping updated or that huge mess that is your Goodreads shelves. It's time to figure it out. *snaps fingers* my goals: 1. Update social media accounts (Twitter): who I follow, b...

Aaaaand we're back with the February section of the Book Blogger Organization Challenge  hosted by Brittany at The Book Addicts Guide . I need organization in my life and my blog ( lots of it ), so I'm loving how this challenge gives me specific goals without strict deadlines hanging above my head. You can click here to read my January post . :) You might remember the objectives I challenged myself with in January, some of which I did and...some that I wasn't able to do. It is now time for a whole new set of challenges. *dramatic jazz hands* This month's focus: Blog Maintenance This month's Twitter hashtag: #BlogOrganization my goals tbr On another note, I'm still looking for people to guest post for Life of a Random sooo if you're interested don't be shy. :)

Because I already addressed the main topics of this month, I'm just going to be talking about smaller goals that can be finished by the end of January. books to read Since the month is already almost half over, I'm not going to push myself too hard. But I do  want to read the two books below for sure.      Besides both of them counting for my 2015 book challenge, I've wanted to read both for a while and just haven't gotten around to it.  resolutions for the month 1. Create a Goodread's shelf for the books I want to read this year.  2. Set a time to work on blog stuff-- this will be super important to keep up because of school.  3. Write a monthly recap post and continue writing them each month.  things to change I'm not gonna call these resolutions but just things that I want to change in my lifestyle. Last semester was a pretty rough one for me. I ended up with great grades but throughout the semester I didn...

From past experiences with resolutions and to-do lists *cough* failures *cough*, at the beginning of this year I already had decided that I would put a limit on all my goals. I would: 1) Make them manageable. 2) Make them non-intimidating aka stress inducing. 3) Not make many resolutions. However, as I was randomly googling for neat blog tags, I came across something called the Book Blogger Organization Challenge   started by Brittany of The Book Addict's Guide . If there's one thing I need, it's a little organization in my blogging life. And this challenge is perfect because it has good goals but it doesn't have those intimidating specific  deadlines. So I decided to do it! The idea is to organize specific areas of your blogging every month for six months. Here are the "rules" (said exactly as the founder of said project): The Blog Organization Challenge will run from January 1st to June 30th. Participants can join in at any time!  Like I...
